A Letter From The Pm

[ichkeria]

I thought everyone was supposed to have had one.
We are still waiting ...

[Tilly2]

He's self isolating so he can't get out to post them. :-)

[ichkeria]

My guess is it’s the same people in charge of that who are organising the testing

[iluvmargie]

Lol at 8.29.

[Coppit]

I believe there is more than adequate information on TV and radio, making letters an unnecessary demand on the Post Office and an expense.

[iluvmargie]

^ I agree.

[ichkeria]

The expense is negligible in the scheme of things.

I don’t have an opinion on whether they are any use or not: I just wondered if many/any people had received them as it seemed they were to go out imminently

[ichkeria]

Apparently they’re going out “from next week”

[ToraToraTora]

apparently if you don't have a letter then you are on the list to be culled.

[iluvmargie]

Why do we need these letters?

[fiction-factory]

It's Royal Mail handling these - nothing to do with the Post Office.
Our postman hasn't been seen for a while- probably off ill- so we are getting a delivery from what looks like a manager every couple of days. I suspect deliveries are affected in may areas. Something someone sent me a 9 days ago still hasn't arrived.
So Boris's letter may be a day or two yet.
I'm not sure why it's being sent, but in the scheme of things it's only a few million out of the many many billions spent on financial support, NHS and other measures. In a fast moving situation some of the letter could be out of date by the time we read it.

[10ClarionSt]

There was a message from Bonkin' Boris in the Sunday papers. The letters will probably say the same thing.

How does it begin
Dear voter
Dear you
Dear sir / madam
Dear God ( what have I let myself in for )
Dear me (what do I do )
hi Boris here ,no look come back don’t runaway I was just gonna say .......

[riptide]

Post could be a problem, was talking to our postman, they have 20 out sick. Also, of course, they cannot ride two to a van anymore, so only one delivering each time. I am still waiting for my car tax renewal form which is a bit of a worry, not that I am going anywhere these days.

[ichkeria]

I answered my own question above

"they are going out from next week"

[Ryzen]

Dianne Abbott is taking a CV test today..apparently shes been revising all night !!

[Ellipsis]

I look with revulsion at anything posted through my door these days. A bit like if someone's dog poops on my drive, I look at it queasily and think, "Ugh, now I have to deal with that."

[diddlydo]

Riptide - you can renew your road fund/tax online. No need to wait for a letter.

[tomus42]

Sending these out seems like a waste of time, money, and paper.

Dear Weecalf

Wash your hands and while you're at it wash your mouth out as well.

Wisth love
Boris
